Christmas Concert

"With all the schools in Loveland, I believe there are still students and families that believe in Christmas. I would like to put a challenge to all the schools in Loveland to put together a Christmas concert, not a winter concert, with students from all schools that still believe in Christmas."

Real Gateway Drugs

"People want to oppose marijuana because it's a so-called gateway drug and eventually the person says, "oh, this isn't good enough," and then move on to other drugs. If you want to use that kind of thinking, then we should get rid of the other two gateway drugs called tobacco and alcohol. Because I don't think I've ever met anyone who smokes marijuana who didn't smoke cigarettes first and didn't do alcohol first. So those are the real gateway drugs. Any chance we can take those off the market? Of course not. The lobbyists won't let us nor will the big corporations making them."

Lovetown

"A very cute story -- and you've got to love the Loveland postmaster -- from a friend of mine who says my cousin, who is 8 or 9 years old, sent a letter and it was mailed to Lovetown, Colo. The post office knew where it was going and sent it to her in Loveland, Colo. Pretty amazing. You've got to love Lovetown and Loveland."

Ban on Wood Burning

"To the caller who wants to ban wood burning. Do you not realize that for some people it is their primary source of heat in the winter as the cost of regular heating is too high? Many people have asthma these days, including myself. And I still like to use my fireplace on cold winter nights."

Dip on U.S. 34

"This is for the 'Big dip on 34.' We travel that road several times a day and have for 10 years. I guess when there's nothing else to complain about you all just create something. That's a perfect road."

Gas Prices

"Just got back from Denver Friday night. Gas down there is $3.15 a gallon. I'd like to know why Loveland and Fort Collins are always the last towns to drop their prices. It's like a 10- to 15-cent difference from down there to up here. It's stupid."

Prowling Officer

"My husband and I had a late dinner at a downtown restaurant when we got off work. When we were finished at 9:30 p.m., we were profiled by the Loveland Police officer after walking through a parking lot to our car. He pulled to the side of the road and watched us get in our car. I, being the driver, got behind him and followed him to north Loveland, but when I changed lanes to go toward my home, he felt compelled to pull to the side of the road so he could get behind us. Officer, I did nothing wrong, so you wasted your time. You were prowling. We can't even go out to a restaurant in Loveland for a bite to eat without being subject to police harassment."

Merry Christmas

"I'm 72 years old and it has been 'Merry Christmas' ever since I can remember and I'm not changing my tactics because these liberals want to change it. I will not trade at any store that does not say 'Merry Christmas.'"
